🇦🇹 Klaus Bachler

Klaus Bachler is an Austrian racing driver who has built his career as a Porsche-contracted competitor across a range of high-level sportscar and GT categories. Coming up through disciplines such as Porsche Supercup and ADAC GT Masters, he established himself as a versatile factory driver, eventually extending his record to include victories in GTWC Europe Endurance Cup, IMSA SportsCar Championship, and FIA World Endurance Championship competition. That breadth of success across manufacturer-backed programs has made him a familiar name within Porsche's driver roster and the broader endurance racing community.[1]

At present, Bachler competes in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with Manthey, continuing his association with Porsche machinery at the highest level of North American sportscar racing. Across his career he has amassed 26 starts, 5 wins, and 10 podiums, though he has yet to claim a championship title. His Racer Rating of 5,797 places him 182nd among active drivers, reflecting a solid if not elite standing relative to the sport's top performers. The 2026 season has begun modestly, with no wins or podiums from a single round completed and a current standing of P176, leaving Bachler with ground to make up as the campaign progresses.[2]
